I'm not a drug addict; in fact all the doctors I've met so far have never met someone like me at all! You see, pain killers have no effect on my pain at all!! That's especially not much fun when you also have a disease like MS (lots of pain there!) and gums that are so sensitive that I can't touch them with a Q-tip without putting Benzocaine on it and even that only reduces the pain from a 10 to about a 6 but I can deal with that.
Anyway, my pain management MD had me on 100 mcg every 72 hours which didn't do anything for the pain but I'd been sleeping a lot lately because I've had a terrible disappointment a few days ago (I have anorexia, too!) my blood sugar was only 49 so they took to the ER where some idiot ripped off a fresh patch so I had a horrible narcotic withdrawal! (Because the never affected my pain, I forgot how strong they are!!) I don't know if it's the Fentanyl, the Anorexia, or what but I'm afraid to get out of bed, I'm afraid to talk to people, I'm afraid they'll put me back in the hospital, I'm afraid I won't eat enough but thinking of eating makes me feel sick, I can't call one of my best friends because her husband has pancreatic cancer that's already spread to his liver so I only call her when I feel happy, and one daughter is away in San Antonio but I don't want to call her because she's already thinking of moving away because there's so much responsibility on her because her sister lives in Jerusalem, Israel. I'm just sleeping all the time and I'm scaring my husband, too, and I don't want him to call911 again!!! Is sleeping a lot and not wanting to eat common symptoms? I guess that's what I need to know. Thank you and God bless you!!!
